Bell Wreath Ornament

Do you need a fast and easy Christmas ornament to make? As a gift or for your tree. But don't want it to look like a child made it ( no offence, children.)Here is one that is all that.

You need too different sized bells (big and small.)

You can use different colors if you want, to make it fancy.

All you do is alternate the bells on a wire. When you have it as big as you want it ,twist the wires together. To finish it off tie a ribbon at the top ,were you twisted it together.

Thanks to Frugal Family Home for this craft.

Water Color Pencil Art

I thought I knew how to do water pencils. But I found out I did not! I thought you just color on the paper then put some water on it right? No!

I got a kit that teaches you how to use them. You have to add just the right amount of water, it is a real art. there is more than one tetchiness, you can draw then wet the color, you can wet the paper and draw on it or get the pencil wet and draw.

My kit that I got has a set of pencils that come with it, a pencil sharpener, several outlined drawing you can color in and step by step instructions for each one.
